The 1982 quote is the same sense as the IRA quote, but IMO the earlier quotes describe scenarios not really analogous

Townlands are a rural landscape feature and I imagine few residents of suburban Glanmire know the name of their townland unless they have read the title deeds of their homes. Maps e.g. osi.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappv...
Suburb includes parts of townlands of Dunkettle, Ballynagarbragh, Corbally North, Riverstown, Brooklodge, Knocknahorgan, Poulacurry South, Poulacurry North, Ballinglanna, Sarsfieldcourt, Ballingcrossig. [Listed on the Glashaboy River (Glanmire/Sallybrook) Drainage Scheme] www.gov.ie/en/departmen...
"Glanmire is the townland umbrella name for a cluster of tiny settlements ... Glanmire itself, Riverstown, Sallybrook, and Brooklodge." -- does nobody know what a #townland is any more? None named #Glanmire ; historic centre is in townland of Poulacurry South.

A web search input reads "Isabel necessary on a bicycle" The response "AI overview" reads as follows: No, there is no person named Isabel necessary on a bicycle. "Isabel" or "Isabelle" is not a standard bicycle component, but the search results show the name is sometimes used in discussions about cycling, such as in the context of a blog post about a "death road" in Georgia. You may be thinking of other terms, such as a bicycle bell, a rider's presence, or an individual's personal skill and safety on a bicycle.

The problem is the 2024 act did not change the definition of "built-up area" used in the main [2004] act, which was the council towns abolished in 2014! I wonder if someone accused of doing 80kph in a 50kph zone could argue in court that the 2014 change had abolished all such zones by default?
